I mean Civil War and it’s not a question. Especially between those listed

Eta: They were starving, huge percentage dying from disease, and if shot in extremity, no matter what, cut off

The fact that limbs were sawed off with no anesthetic in the Civil War puts it near the top. At least morphine was available by the time WW1 rolled around.

Greater numbers lost their lives in non combat situations in the Civil War.

WW1 because of trench warfare.

Viet Nam was unpopular in the later stages. There is a dividing line between popular and unpopular.

Civil War

Agree for the reasons you named and let me add one; in some cases it was family members against family members
